Air Namibia plans Bulawayo-Windhoek flights

Air Namibia is planning to introduce flights between Windhoek and Bulawayo to cater for the increasing number of people travelling between the two cities.

At present, Air Namibia services the Windhoek-Harare and the Windhoek-Victoria Falls routes at least four times a week.

The Windhoek-Harare route, which had been suspended in 1998, was relaunched in May 2012 with a smaller, 40-seater aircraft. High demand on the route forced the airline to introduce an Airbus A-319 to cater for an increase in travellers.

Air Namibia country manager for Zimbabwe, Forbes Zaranyika, said that discussions on the introduction of direct flights into the country's second largest city had started following numerous enquiries from customers.
